  • Wechat scan to share

Guy Corem, a member of the Beam Foundation Board of Directors, announced that Beam will undergo its second halving in January 2024 (5 years after the mainnet launch), marking the end of Beam Treasury releases. Miners (currently limited to GPUs) will mine 20 new Beam per minute instead of 40. The second halving also marks the time when Beam's circulation reaches 60%. In addition, Beam engineer @Vlad38604806 is considering upgrading Beam's L1 to Kaspa's DAG Knight variant. According to CoinGecko data, BEAM tokens have risen over 320% in the past 24 hours.
According to the Beam website, Beam uses fair distribution with no pre-mining or ICO, following a deflationary issuance plan starting at 100 BEAM per block, halving regularly. The total supply is 262,800,000 BEAM. For the first five years (until January 3, 2024), 20% of block issuance revenue will go into the Beam Treasury.

    The worst privacy washing of 2023 and trends to expect in 2024

    The biggest new threat to privacy in 2023 wasn’t any surveillance program. It was the false advertising Big Tech companies use to trick people into thinking their products are private. Like oil companies claiming fossil fuels are “green”, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and others increasingly try to convince people their surveillance-based advertising models are “private” when they’re not. This sneaky marketing practice is known as privacy washing(new window).
